Important Considerations
Fresh Lemons: Use fresh lemons for both the juice and zest to achieve the best flavor.
Baking Consistency: Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature for even mixing and baking.
Poppy Seeds: Properly measure and evenly distribute the poppy seeds to avoid clumping.
Baking Time: Be precise with baking time and check for doneness to avoid a dry loaf.
Tips and Tricks
Room Temperature Ingredients: This helps to create a smooth batter and an evenly baked loaf.
Zesting Lemons: Use a microplane zester to avoid the bitter white pith and to get finely grated zest.
Mixing: Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to avoid a dense loaf.
Baking Check: Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs, not wet batter.
